No mtdman I think your the one who's nitpicking,
What is "BTW your the only one here singin your own praises"supposed to mean?
My point was.. in order to become a landscape professional,
I did do all those things to make a buck,and I learned and grew from doing them.

To say-- "Do one thing and do it well" and that's what makes the green industry
"Professional"
and doing anything outside that type of work is "Unprofessional"and "Brings the green industry down" is absurd.
And that's basicly what the point of the thread was and yes it was very clear to me.

Please don't take offence,I just see things in a different light than you do on this point.
